Guitar Hero Custom Songs: Tips for Putting Custom Songs into Guitar Hero

Placing custom songs and song lists in guitar hero is not as difficult as people may make it seem. Anyone can do it if they really want to. The only things you will need are a decent computer with a DVD burner, good blank DVD media, and a PS2 capable of playing burned DVD's.

Getting a PS2 to play burned DVD's is probably the most difficult part of the process. Playstations are not constructed with the ability to play copied DVD's for obvious reasons. Copyright infringement is a substantial problem for companies like Sony, so they will not support the ability to play copied DVD's or copied games. I can not supply you with any websites containing information to make your Playstation 2 capable of playing burned DVD's, but any google search should give you proper information. Typically a mod chip or a swap disc is used, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Swap discs are easy to attach, but must be "swapped" all the time, while mod-chips are implanted into the PS2 and need no swapping. Any customization of a PS2 will void your warranty, so consider your actions before you proceed.

If you do go the mod-chip route, make sure you use a respected modding website to acquire your chip. Again, I can not supply you with one, but Google can do the trick. If you are squeamish about opening up your PS2 because of potential damage, several websites will do the installation for you for a small fee. I seriously recommend professional installation, as damage is very easy to cause.

You will need some software to put custom songs in the game. I recommend Scorehero. com because they have everything you will need in an easily downloadable package. And it's all free. You will also need some mp3's, which you will need to supply yourself.

Good DVD media is also very important. Many times after you have burned a new copy of the game with your songs inserted, it will fail to read. This is usually because the DVD that you have burned to is not very high quality. Check around on Scorehero. com, as they will have lists of media that is easily found and recorded to.
